There is only one Willie, just as there is only one Keith.
Along with Johnny Cash he is one of the cornerstones of American music.
Willie Nelson confesses to having been a failure at several other attempts at jobs earlier in his life. He once tried to kill himself by laying in the middle of Nashville's busy Broadway outside Tootsies Orchid Lounge, after a few drinks, when he felt depressed about his songwriting! Fortunately Willie failed to get run over and dedicated his life to being the quintessential country singer and performer.

Life hasn't been always been easy for Willie, having been wiped out by the IRS, and having experienced his fair share of failed relationships.
All who know him love Willie. He is truly a gentleman, a Texas charmer, who owns his own town called Luck.

As Willie would say:
“you're either in Luck, or you're not!”
